Purpose and Function of the Rear Suspension Beam

The rear suspension beam in the Peugeot 3008 plays a crucial structural role – it is a load-bearing element to which control arms, hubs, spring, and damping components are attached. It is responsible for:

• maintaining predictable vehicle behavior during straight-line driving and cornering,
• stable rear axle handling during braking and acceleration,
• correct wheel geometry in terms of toe and camber,
• safe transfer of loads from the road surface to the body structure.

A properly selected rear beam is particularly important after a collision, mechanical damage, or corrosion of load-bearing elements, when it is necessary to restore the correct geometry and rigidity of the rear of the vehicle.

Construction and Fit for Peugeot 3008

This beam belongs to the group of longitudinal body frame parts and brackets, meaning it works in conjunction with other structural body elements to form a rigid support system. It has been specifically designed for the Peugeot 3008 platform, ensuring:

• factory mounting points for the body and suspension components,
• dimensional compatibility with the original rear axle geometry,
• consistency with the factory safety system and vehicle handling characteristics.

As an OEM Peugeot part, the beam retains the structural parameters intended by the manufacturer, which facilitates installation and subsequent geometry adjustments at the service center.

Condition, Application, and Benefits of Installation

The offered rear suspension beam is a used part, which translates to a favorable compromise between repair cost and maintaining the original vehicle structure. This type of part is particularly recommended in situations where:

• the rear axle has been bent or deformed after an impact,
• there are problems with geometry alignment that cannot be corrected by adjustment,
• excessive wear or structural damage to the load-bearing element has been identified.

Replacing the beam with an original part from the same structural group allows for the restoration of proper vehicle handling, reduced uneven tire wear, and improved ride comfort and stability at higher speeds.

Part Selection by Numbers and Technical Support

The beam is assigned a specific OEM part number and has corresponding interchangeable numbers, which facilitates precise identification in catalogs and service systems. When selecting suspension structural components, it is advisable to use part number or VIN search to avoid compatibility issues.
